 The trade unions in the country have always cried hoarse over the proposal to change the labour laws. Their argument is that the laws will end up compromising on labourers' interest.
But for a vast majority of Indian workers who work in the organised sector, any reform or allowing corporates to hire and fire or to enter into a contract will allow them to be brought within the ambit of social security.
Also, in labour intensive industries, it is imperative that companies hire workers when there is business and lay off workers during a lull period. So on one hand, while the archaic labour laws have pushed a vast majority of workers into the unorganised sector and forced companies to outsource the hiring of temporary workers, there exists a genuine fear that dilution of workers' rights will give industries a chance to exploit and retrench them at their own will.
